    Hi @nontee --

    If you `mkdir ~/.claws-mail & touch ~/.claws-mail/clawsrc` then that will create the file it's complaining about.

    From what I can gather from Google, the other, more serious, error means that a library Claws depends on is of a different version to the one that was built with. It's a shame it doesn't tell you which it fails with, though :(
    For example, here:
    --> http://ur1.ca/0b5qb
    The poster couldn't run Inkscape, GIMP or some other programs and it was the PNG library that was old.

    I think the results of `ldd /usr/bin/claws-mail` may tell which libraries it's using, so we can work out which one needs an upgrade.

    Are you running Stable or Cooking? I'm running Stable and am using Claws right now without a problem.


    (BTW, the GTK warnings there are nothing to worry about)
